  • Might sound crazy, but I actually went through it all lol. For music you may want to consider the lastfm cog. I use it for movies so I have themoviedb cog and created my own letterboxd cog… not great but it works. i also use aiuser with an API, useful to get some (old) information and you can set it up to roast people or talk in a certain way for entertainment purposes. cleanup is another useful cog to quickly clean up a lot of messages quickly (delete from message ID, delete messages between message ID1 and ID2 etc). i use the system cog to get server cpu/ram/hd usage.



  • The nature and timing of the decisions that led to the Final Solution is an intensely researched and debated aspect of the Holocaust. The program evolved during the first 25 months of war leading to the attempt at “murdering every last Jew in the German grasp”.[5] Christopher Browning, a historian specializing in the Holocaust, wrote that most historians agree that the Final Solution cannot be attributed to a single decision made at one particular point in time.[5] “It is generally accepted the decision-making process was prolonged and incremental.”[6] In 1940, following the Fall of France, Adolf Eichmann devised the Madagascar Plan to move Europe’s Jewish population to the French colony, but the plan was abandoned for logistical reasons, mainly a naval blockade.[7] There were also preliminary plans to deport Jews to Palestine and Siberia.[8] Raul Hilberg wrote that, in 1941, in the first phase of the mass-murder of Jews, the mobile killing units began to pursue their victims across occupied eastern territories; in the second phase, stretching across all of German-occupied Europe, the Jewish victims were sent on death trains to centralized extermination camps built for the purpose of systematic murder of Jews.[9]

    I have a very short attention span unfortunately, if I get bored after 10 minutes I move on to another. It’s not uncommon for me to watch a movie in 2 sittings due to time, work, gym etc. Weekends if I’m not gaming then I’ll be able to watch a few movies in 1 go.

    I really like Foxx, Leguizamo and De Niro, that’s the only reason why I finished it. The same reason why I watched Armor and Alarum “starring” Stallone, but compared to these 2, Tin Soldier is perhaps a bit better lol, surprisingly I actually watched both these movies in 1 sitting.

    Thanks for the comment!

    Just like any book, you can walk away from a shite movie, too.

    Hahah, you’re right, I probably should have walked away from this but I really like De Niro… still don’t know why I punished myself but oh well.

    Also, OP, with respect: De Niro is a personal metric for quality? Ya lost me. AFAICT, De Niro hasn’t been a reliable performer for a long time, (sighs in The Irishman) … but I’m genuinely curious about your take on that.

    The last few movies (Killers of the Flower Moon, Father of the Bride, Part 3) and TV shows (Zero Day, The Wizard of Lies) I watched, I really enjoyed. I actually liked the Irishman! I really do enjoy a good script and good actors, but it’s debatable what appeals to me might not necessarily appeal to another person. Are the recent content as good as say Casino, Taxi Driver, Heat etc… I don’t think so.
